Short answer is no. It's not a fuel leak that is being indicated but a leak in the fuel system fuel vapor recovery system. This is an emission control system.
The most likely cause is a fuel cap that doesn't get installed after fueling, rarely a bad fuel cap and sometimes a cracked vapor recovery canister, failed recovery system valves or voided hoses/lines associated with the vapor recovery system.
Were any of those item's disturbed recently that you know of? Could just be coincidental with the VCG replacement.
